FAO Schwarz has brought back Monchhichi

Get ready kids and campers for an “I Love the 80’s” flashback. When I was a little girl, I was obsessed. Not with Scott Baio from Charles in Charge, not with Ralph Macchio from The Karate Kid (That’s a lie. I proudly owned the Karate Kid headband and did attempt to perform that crazy flying kick when Julie Pickler tried to make me eat sand…it didn’t turn out well). I wasn’t even obsessed with Cabbage Patch Kids. In fact, I thought they beared too much of a resemblance to the Quaker Oats guy, only with ugly, unmanageable yarn hair. No, my obsession dear friends was with Monchhichi.

You remember the song, don’t you? Monchhichi, Monchhichi, oh so cute and cuddly, With her thumb in her mouth she’s really sweet, it’s fun to play with their little feet, la la la! La la la! Happy, happy Monchhichi! I love you Monchhichi!

DID YOU KNOW? A Monchhichi onced saved a three year old boy’s life. While Bobby Pete Farqwar of Duluth Minnesota was playing happily in his front yard, an unfriendly neighborhood pit bull lunged at him out of nowhere. In an instant Bobby shoved a Monchichi in the angry mutt’s mouth. The pit bull ran away, leaving Bobby Pete alive…but Monchhichi-less… Lesson to parents? Buy a Monchhichi, save a child’s life.

Ring a bell? If not, I feel like a total dork and a half. If so, take a look at this adorable Japanese classic 18″ MonchhichiĀ girl doll. She’ll make you feel like you’re a kid again with that plush little monkey body, vinyl face, hands and feet, and she’s all ready to get into your monkey business.

    I have been looking for the Monchichi Monkey for a while and was wondering how I would go about actually getting one or two of these monkeys, I live in Ireland and I cant seem to get any here and I have searched quite a few places. Could you forward me details as to where I would get my hands on these monkeys, I was obsessed with them in the 1980’s having grew up with them.

    I just bought ONE of the electronic toys my kids wanted (one each for 3 kids) and I dropped over $325! Help! But to Catherina: have you tried Ebay or Amazon?

Got something to say?
